S2.5 Alina's Ring

S2.5 Alina's Ring

During World War II, a wounded German soldier stumbles into the home of an Italian peasant family. As the daughter nurses the soldier back to health, she falls madly in love with him without realizing—or does she?—that it was his comrades who murdered her mother and father. Her obsessive, uncompromising passion can lead only to a grisly finale
